The NAACP has issued a nationwide travel advisory for traveling on American Airlines. For several months, the NAACP has been monitoring incidents on the airline involving its treatment of African-Americans. The organization says flyers may experience "disrespectful, discriminatory or unsafe conditions" on American Airlines. Recent incidents involve "troublesome conduct" and suggest "a corporate culture of racial insensitivity and possible racial bias on the part of American Airlines." The president and CEO of the NAACP, Derrick Johnson, said in a statement “All travelers must be guaranteed the right to travel without fear of threat, violence or harm.” The travel advisory is in effect until further notice.
